Question to 737-700 drivers
If ATC gives you a 160 to 4DME speed restriction for the approach do you need to lower the gear?
The reason I ask is because I was returning to EGGW from LFPG the other night and I think that were on the LOREL arrival that routed up the West of London towards WOD and then on for the approach for the 08 (I'm guessing as it was v. cloudy).
The gear was lowered much earlier than I had seen before and I wondered whether or not this was to comply with a speed restriction.
Any info is much appreciated.
